Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Dr Avery performed 13 IPL and Vasculite/YAG operations on me. I issued reports on all of these operations at this forum. Dr Avery ran a very nice clinic in Wichita Falls TX, and his treatments helped my flushing condition substantially. The final three operations helped the most. For tx's 11, 12 and 13, Dr Avery utilized multiple passes consisting of high filtration IPL combined the Vasculight/YAG 1064 laser for all three of these operations. I strongly suspect that the YAG cleared some deeper, larger vessels which had been causing recurrences after IPL. I have seen lasting improvement of the flushing symptoms, although my clearance was not 100%, and I do still have periods in which I have difficulties with flushing. A " cocktail " consisting of clonidine, clonazepam, and nortriptylene, prescribed by my MD (not Dr Avery) has also helped the flushing symptoms. My condition is now greatly improved, compared to the severity when it first struck in early 1997. I learned yesterday that Dr Avery died suddenly about two months ago. His name was still on Dr Bitter's list of trained physicians, so I informed them that Dr Avery is deceased. May his soul rest in peace.
